Damn Matty saying everything he loves dies and then Xbox going 3rd party today is kind of heart breaking.

we just don't know enough to assume he was "pushed out". you have to remember, he used to work under xbox's leadership , and whatever bad blood may have been there, is prob still there, and he could have voluntarily left, also. there may be too much baggage there for him to want to work under that system, AGAIN. but yes he could have also been "pushed out". we just don't know enough.

Great talk guys. As a former Blizzard fan I found the news of Mike being pushed out sad. Time will tell.

It’s pretty doom and gloom this episode. Things I think were missed in the conversation of Xbox/ABK: - it was assumed that Xbox’s business model is not sustainable despite Xbox’s assurances; no one questioned if it was ABKs business model that wasn’t sustainable - in all the Xbox 3rd party talk, no one talks about the danger of Sony having zero competitive pressure/constraint in the console space. So people really believe Sony will become more consumer friendly if Xbox basically abandons the console space (or at best marginally supports it)
